Over the weekend I took a much needed mini-vacation. I left work a little early and headed up to the Alexandria area (just outside of DC) to visit my friend Humaira. She is Izabel's godmother and she moved back home last year. We haven't gotten to see her much so it was so exciting to get up there and even more exciting to just be me for a weekend (Not a wife and not a mommy).

Friday evening we headed out to dinner at Chili's. We planned on going out afterwards but after dinner a couple drinks we were pretty tired so we headed home and watched a movie. Saturday we headed to Spa World. They have a bunch of different sauna rooms, a pool with different seats, a restaurant, a juice bar and then a bunch of services. We got the body scrub, facial with honey and mud packs and then a deep-tissue massage. We were there for about 4 hours but we really could have spent all day! We had a really nice relaxing morning.

After the spa we headed to Humaira's parents house for a Mia Bella Candle and Tastefully Simple party. There was a ton of great food and a bunch of products on sale so it was great. On the way home we stopped for pedicures since we didn't have time for them at the spa. Back at Humaira's house we opened a few bottles of wine and sat around talking until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore.

Sunday morning we slept in pretty late which was wonderful. Then we headed to Bob Evans with Humaira's mom and stepmom for brunch. As soon as we got done I hit the road to come home. It was a pretty easy drive and I didn't hit a lot of traffic so it was fine. Noah had just gotten home so we loaded up and headed over to Auntie's house for dinner with her, Gigi and Theresa. We had a good time hanging out and we had a great dinner. After we got home and put the kids to bed I went to work on all the homework I had missed over the weekend. I was pretty tired Monday morning but it was worth it for a wonderful weekend!!!

P.S. Noah had a nice weekend with the kids and everyone was fine when I got home!

On Wednesday nights at the Princess Anne library they have Wacky Wednesdays. It's a program for toddler-preschool age children. They read stories, sing songs, play with the parachute and have a great time! We loved it and we will definitely be going back!

I know I'm a little behind again! We're so busy that I would need to blog everyday to keep up, but I'm too busy to do that!!! Here are a couple updates. Enjoy :)

Last Sunday (9/13) we met Rebecca, RJ and Rylee at The Jungle Gym out by Lynnhaven mall. We were brave and didn't have any help with us so the kids didn't do that much jumping but they were excited to see each other. It was nice to catch up for a little bit. Now that I am back to work Rebecca and I work opposite schedules so it's hard to find time to hang out. Of course now that our husbands have football to watch on Sundays we might see each other a little more often ;)

She looks like such a big girl!

About Me

Noah and I were married August 20, 2005. We have been very blessed in these almost six years. In 2006 I graduated from ODU and we bought our first home! In 2007 we welcomed our perfect little girl into the world. Izabel Nicole was born October 8, 2007. Then on April 8, 2009 we welcomed our amazing son Tanner Wayne. Who knows what the future will bring, we're just very happy living in the present!
